11 Pseudo-Magi (2/2)
Zatiel and Ezequiel delivered the signed contract to Richard, this last one used the crystal to scan them.
”I have uploaded the information in the contracts, now if you follow me I can take you to the place where you get your magic robes and guidebook about the tower and it is the same place where you can exchange your carcasses.”
Richard guide them to another stall not far from the one they were, in which an old man who was a rank 2 apprentice was sitting.
It is very normal for these jobs to be taken for people with little talent after all the other apprentices' with a chance of becoming Magi will never waste their time in this type of job
.
”Hey old Hal, this is the new apprentices, they need magical robes and also exchange some part of magical creatures.”
”Who are the new ones and what they bring... oh, so they are you.”
The apprentice named old Hal has already seen Zatiel and Ezequiel when they enter bringing Nick with them, so he knew that this was people he should not offend, he immediately gives them their robes, black for Zatiel and white for Ezequiel matching the color of their hair, and also a crystal to each one.
”This crystal has all the basic information about the tower as the facilities, the classes you can take and more. If you give me your sacs I can evaluate the worth of the material you bring.”
”Here you go,” spoke Zatiel as he and Ezequiel give their bags to the old man.
Although he was old the apprentice certainly has proficiency in his field, with a crystal he starts to scan all of the magical creatures.
As they were waiting for the old man, Zatiel started to explain the use of the crystal to Ezequiel after seeing the boy not knowing what to do with it.
” Little EZ, this crystal is the most common way of keeping the information, you just have to put the crystal in your forehead and trie to guide your consciousness to it, and the information will start to appear in your mind.”
Zatiel nodded as he saw the boy starting to go through the information in the crystal, as for him, he has a more efficient and faster way of doing it.
”A.I. Chip scan the crystal and imprint the information directly into my mind.”
”Bip... Starting scan,
Scanning completed
Uploading information.”
Zatiel felt a current of electricity go throw his brain as the information started to appear in his mind, as he going through the new information a voice distract him.
”Ok, I have finished, most of the magical creatures are bordering the strength of a rank 2 or 3 apprentices, according to the parameter established for the tower you will receive 223 magic crystals.”
”That much!” Richard could not help but exclaim after all his salary was barely 10 crystal a month and saw someone making a transaction for more money than he makes in a year.
Old Hal was already used to this type of transaction so he didn't say much.
Zatiel was satisfied with the amount so the transaction ended quickly as the old man handed a bag with magic crystals, as for the expression of the apprentice he didn't take it into account
”Thanks for the help.”
”It was nothing, also this is the place where you deliver the material of the mission, so I guess we will see each other often.”
”See you soon then, and you too,” Zatiel say to the old man and Richard, but he didn't go very far when the last one reaches out to him.
”There is something else?,” Zatiel asked at the apprentice who was making a troubled face.
After a moment and seeing that no one was looking in their direction Richard came closer to Zatiel and started to whisper.
”You have to be careful, Nick's older brother is a Pseudo-Magi, and a very powerful one, he will definitely come to you for harming his brother”.
Zatiel saw at the apprentice and understand why he was helping him, reaching into his bag he took 30 crystal and give him to him.
”Thanks for the help.”
”You're welcome!” Richard said as he took the crystal and return to his desk with a smile on his face.
Ezequiel was listening to everything and concern was shown in his face. He knows that it will be easy to kill a rank 3 apprentices with his strength but a Pseudo Magi is supposed to be much more strong and he doesn't know if he can defeat it.
”Master there will be trouble?.”
”Don't worry little EZ, as long we are in the same Rank nothing can represent a threat to us,” Zatiel spoke with carefree expression.
Ezequiel nodded and his expression return to is the usual calm one, to him his master his always right.
Zatiel looked at the boy and smiled.
´He is still doesn't understand how strong he is, barely 3 months ago he was just a normal boy and now he was able to defeat a rank 3 apprentice with just his body, if it wasn't for his opponent having a strong body he will have kill him in the first exchange´
